'''TV Channel-in-a-Box''' (also know as Master Control Room/MCR in a box) is a concept in the broadcast industry, which enables the broadcast and the content owners to achieve [[playout]] automation that provides video ingest, creates content through inserting logos, animations and commercials, and afterwards streaks it before television audiences.

Channel in the Box refers to all the technology needed to launch a channel in one server (box). These processes include: input interfaces to ingest video, real-time video processing to implement digital video effects, storage interfaces to obtain the related content, output interfaces to play out the final video produced and handle all billing and business operations <ref name="undefined" />.

The name is first used by PlayBox Technology in 2000 under the tag name "It's all in a PlayBox".

Twenty years later almost everything has changed, except the desire for price optimization and transition to file and IP based / MPEG transport technology.

Drafts are often created to work on future articles before they are ready to be published or otherwise might not yet meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines. These are generally created in the "Draft" namespace to avoid any possibility that a casual reader may stumble upon them. {{Draft article}} goes further, prominently tagging the draft article as a draft, and at the same time provides convenient links to help build the article and facilitate submission to WP:AFC. This also categorizes the page to Category:Draft articles or one of its sub-categories.

Using {{subst:AFC draft|username}} will place {{AFC submission/draft}} on the page, which provides even more guidance and begins the Articles for Creation process at the 'draft' stage.

Usage

Do not use this template in mainspace, as it will not display. For article being developed in mainspace, consider {{Under construction}} instead.

{{Draft article}} renders as Template:Namespace detect
